Wonderful little book for wine lovers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
It's a shame this book is out of print, because I use my copy all the time. Whenever I run across a wine based on a grape I don't recognize I turn to this book. Sometimes I learn about a new grape, and sometimes I learn a new name for a grape I already know. But I always find succinct information about the grape, where it is grown, and what qualities it imparts in a wine. If you have a chance, grab a copy!
If you don't know wine grapes, you will!

What can you say about the most comprehensive encyclopaedia of wine grapes written by the world's foremost expert on the subject, when that person also happens to be a clear and charming writer as well? If you want to know about grapes, find out from the woman who has offered her entire cellar to the person who can outstrip her knowledge on the subject. Wonderful!
Great view of the grapes

Successor to Robinson's large-format "Vines, Grapes and Wines," this delightful little book sorts out the world of wine not geographically, as encyclopedias usually do, but on the basis of grapes. Chock full of information about grapes from the commonplace (Chardonnay) to the bizarre (Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso), this pocket-size book is a must for the wine-trivia lover or the serious wine fancier
